How to make div length elastic based on the length of text?

[collegian]

Hello,

I have some content in div tags.I want to make the div elastic based on the length of the text so that the text doesn't spill out of the div tag.
I am attaching a file in which I want the width of the div "wrapper" to be dynamic based on length of the content in the content placeholder.

Thanks.

You'll get a better response by showing your rendered HTML/CSS markup in the HTML/CSS forum as the display of the page doesn't have anything to do with ASP.NET.

However, as a quick bit of advice, remove the height from your wrapper as by their very nature div elements will expand to contain the content you put in them (unless elements are taken out of the document flow with floating or absolute positioning).
